[Bug 294244] Re: package totem-common 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png': No such file or directory

Once again the "Update Manager" told me there were more updates
available today.  The list included the "totem-common" package and the
"gnome-icon-theme" package.  I deselected these packages and ran the
updates for the other packages listed.  Those updates appeared to work
correctly - there does not seem to be any clear way for end users to
verify that updates have been successful.  Anyway, I then ran the update
for the problematic packages, and this failed.  A window appeared which
displayed:

An error occurred
The following details are provided:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-icon-theme_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb: unable to 
make backup symlink for 
`./usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/spreadsheet.svg'
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/totem-common_2.24.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb: unable to make 
backup symlink for 
`./usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png'

There was also an icon on the top bar of my desktop.  I clicked it and
it displayed:

Crash report detected

Package problem
Sorry, the package "totem-common 2.24.3-0ubuntu1" failed to install or upgrade.
You can help the developers to fix the package by reporting the problem.
Report Problem ...

I clicked the button to report the problem, and ended up here, adding
this comment to an existing bug report.  I noted that the title for this
new problem refers to "totem-common 2.22...." while the error message
refers to "totem-common 2.24...".  Inconsistencies like this always look
suspicious to me.  Anyway, I hope this new information helps.
